Orderly and clean, but a little paranoid perhaps?
This city-size country did not particularly impress me. Well, let me rephrase that. It did not meet my expectations. What I found in Singapore was a big shopping mall. There was not really much more to it. Nevertheless there were specific elements of the... more - travel report by
